“The second half of this phase is getting the public more comfortable with the outliers.  The people with stranger powers, and stranger appearances.  You’re likable, Weld.  You have a clearly unnatural appearance, if you’ll forgive me saying so-”

Yes, a clearly “unnatural” appearance, but not a “monstrous” one like Gregor’s. Weld is more on Newter’s end of the axis.

Weld shrugged.  He stood out.  There were a hundred things that bothered him more than stares and comments on the subject.

“-but you have fans, and people are interested in you.  You get higher ratings for your interviews than even the average handsome hero gets.

Nice!

I like Weld so far, and this only helps reinforce that.

You’re second most popular for team leaders for number of youtube videos, possibly helped by a briefly lived internet meme featuring your face, 

Ahaha!

I wonder what exactly that meme was. 😛

…I also wonder if Wildbow took inspiration from the Worm fandom actually making a meme about Weld before this chapter.

and you have a blemish-free record, both academically and in your two years serving as a part of the Wards.”

In other words, an excellent good guy.
